I've had my Skip Hop for about a week now and today I put it to the test. Normally, I just keep it attached to my stroller and only detach it to get into the car and re-attach it to a shopping cart - which I love doing! But today I went to Reel Moms at the Movies and had to attach the long strap and actually use it as a diaper bag. I had to valet my stroller and carry DS's carseat, bottle cooler and Skip Hop down two escaladors. I felt overwhelmed.
I was a little disappointed with the bag. I had trouble accessing the middle section and was getting really annoyed that the bag didn't stand up. Normally this doesn't bother me, but I was holding DS and needed items in my bag and the bag just didn't function for the occassion.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great bag, just not perfect. If it was just an inch or two wider I would love it.
I think it's great while out shopping or strolling the neighborhood, but for all day outings, I need something else. Ugh! DH is going to KILL me!!
Can any of you bag-aholics help me find the bag of my dreams?
I'm searching for a bag that has an open top that's easy to access, loads of pockets, some exterior pockets, can accommodate a two-bottle cooler, is lightweight, and can hang on a Zippy without tipping it over.
I'm considering a Kate Spade medium tote bag. Does anyone have one? Or the Lands End Diaper Totes, but the zipper top and short handles worry me. Honestly, it's not price or fashion, I just want a bag that works for me. The ISM bags look too deep. Ugh! Someone help me I'm so sick of this. I'm the kind of person who buys one expensive bag and uses it until it deteriorates, I'm not a bag shopper. I'm not enjoying this!
